LOTS OF NEWS from Stampin' UP! NEW COLOR REFRESH! AND MORE!!!

Notes from Stampin' Up!

Beginning TODAY on April 4, 2013, all retiring/discontinued color products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period. We did anticipate increased demand and based our forecasts for these retiring colors on historical sales information from previous color transitions. However, even with the most careful planning, the response to a transition of this nature can surprise everyone--including you in your own business and personal purchases. We encourage you to let your customers know that any of our retiring color products are only available while supplies last so they can get their favorites and look forward to the exciting colors coming in the 2013-2014 annual catalog. And also announced today, free shipping is going on April 6-8, 2013, which would be a great time for you and your customers to get your favorites before they are gone! (Free shipping is for North America only.)
Want to get some of the new color products for FREE? Watch for more information on April 12 for an exciting opportunity to get the new amazing colors for free.

Watercolor Pencils and Crayons Discontinued

Due to unforeseen problems with our supplier for Watercolor Wonder Crayons and Watercolor Pencils, we have decided to discontinue these two products.
Watercolor Pencils (item 101879) and Watercolor Wonder Crayons Brights Collection (item 119804), which have been on the Backorder Report for about a week, will no longer be available, effective immediately. If your order has not been shipped due to its status in backorder, we will not be able to fill it. We will soon begin processing refunds for these items. Keep in mind that it may take a few days to see the reimbursement in your account.
Now for the good news! We still have the remaining collections of the Watercolor Wonder Crayons available to order. The Subtles (item 119802), Neutrals (item 119805), and Regals (item 119803) Collections are only available while supplies last. Get 'em before they're gone!

Good morning!
Opps.....a missed Sale-a-bration card!

This is a Sale-a-bration card that I designed & was going to use for my 'All Occasions' class & then didn't. 
 Just thought I'd share with you anyways, as it is a cute layout & you could use it with different stamp sets.
(Or maybe you got this stamp set during SAB- so you could case this anyways.)
AND I love the Summer Starfruit with the Rich Razzleberry.
It is very elegant!

'Vintage Verses' (SAB- not available now)
cs: Rich Razzleberry, Summer Starfruit & Whisper White
Sycamore Street Designer Paper (SAB- not available now)
ink:  Rich Razleberry & Summer Starfruit (to sponge onto the Flower Trim)
supplies:  Big Shot, Vine Street embossing folder (SAB- not available now), 5/8" Flower Trim, 2 1/2" Circle punch, Summer Starfruit Stitched Satin ribbon, Sponge, Window Frames Collection framelit, dimensionals, glue dot

I am finally home all day today with the boys!
YIPEE!
Hope you have a good day!
Happy Stamping!
